12.2 FS7600/FS7610 connection paths
The Dell EqualLogic NAS appliances require the following networks:
 Client network: Used for client access to the NFS exports and CIFS shares hosted by the NAS cluster.
 SAN/internal network: Used for internal communication between the controllers and
communication between the controllers and the EqualLogic PS Series SAN. The SAN and Internal
networks use the same set of switches.
It is recommended to keep the client and SAN side networks physically separate and deploy two switches
on both sides to protect against a switch failure.
